How is the camera on this? It has enough pixels, but are the optics any good? Does it focus well?

The quality is pretty good, but you may have to configure it. I was unimpressed with the first pictures until I realized that there are settings for it. Select media, then push the gear at the bottom of the screen. Select "quality" and you can select from normal, fine and HD.

It is just a point and shoot, with nothing fancy, but they are as clear as my smart phone. The focus is good. I don't really use the pictures for anything more than to remind me why I was putting a point at that location or as a backup to the photos I am taking with my camera when I am working.

Yes it is. It tends to spend a long time seeking in low light, but the auto focus is pretty good.

If you're asking about photographing the stars, then (in my opinion) it doesn't have enough magnification. It's a "normal" lens, not a telephoto which is typically used for that. If you're asking if it's good in low light, then the answer is yes, sort of. For the price it's great. It's sharp wide open (at f2.4). Some faster lenses that go down to f1.4 aren't sharp at that aperture, so they end up being usable only at f2.4 to f2.8. Dollar for dollar this is a very good lens.

The zoom is Excellent!, but the autofocus delay a little some times. About the different lighting i not sure. Some photos that i did are in my blog fotosypaisajesdevenezuela.blogspot.com how reference.

I have been very pleased with mine in low light. In really low light situations I have seen some problems getting it focused. I also have a D3100

Picture quality is pretty good. I have a Canon EOS which is amazing. But this camcorder is pretty good.

It's full HD so it' very sharp. This is the primary feature for a camera of this price.

Personal opinion only, I think you'd find this camera would perform fairly well. It seems to do fairly well in low light situations and of course with the super zoom, you can zoom in on the target from considerable distance. Given the relative low price of this camera (compared to others with this zoom capability), your investment would be fairly low and you could always come back and sell one as "used" right here on Amazon.

It's good. Doesn't have a washed out center part of viewing area like a lot of other cameras do. That's normally caused by the IR illuminators not being aimed properly or they are too strong. This camera has a good setup for the price

The camera has a built in microphone and it works pretty good. Don't know about the pixels but image quality is also pretty good.

Ah, the Rebel XT -- I had one of those for a while. Small LCD screen did make it a bit hard to check if something was in focus or not. The Canon 100-300mm USM isn't a bad lens. But you might consider upgrading the 28-80mm USM -- even the newer kit lens, the Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS, is an improvement. You might also enjoy working with a fast prime lens for the background blurring it can provide. Something like the the Canon 50mm f1.8 or 50mm f1.4 or 85mm f1.8 are excellent lenses. Cool images, by the way!

The quality is good (day and night vision). Only when you use the zoom option, the image loses focus but still meets my needs.

It's actually controlled well. At it's widest aperture you'll see it. This is a known issue, like on the Zeiss. But it's something that can be fixed in Adobe. The lens is a good deal and worth it.

It is an awesome camera. I love mine. Takes very good close ups as well. Good detail. Best digital camera I have had so far!! Good luck on Ebay.

Yes it is a good camera. It is light weight, quick to focus, can take lots of micro 4/3 lenses, and the price was right. Is it the best camera? Probably not because there are a lot of terrific cameras out there including several updated variations on this model. If you're thinking about dipping your toe into micro 4/3 photography then there is probably no better camera for getting started. Do your research first to see if this might be something you want because there is no substitute for a well thought out purchase.

It does well in low light, and its macro is good. It also adjusts focus and brightness automatically. Its not as fast as a dedicated video camera, but it does the job well. The built in stereo microphone is also very good. I hope that helps

I've found it to be very good. You need a steady hand - or a tripod - but the autofocus works well on small objects. Hope this helps.
